# Child of Alara Child of Alara represents a pivotal moment in Magic design where five-color legends became genuinely playable. As a mythic from Conflux, it embodies the set's theme of color convergence while offering a unique effect: a repeatable board wipe attached to a creature. Collectors value this card for its role in Commander, where it enables entire deck strategies around mass destruction. The foil version commands attention among format enthusiasts, though both versions remain accessible. Its appeal lies in mechanical innovation rather than scarcity—it's a card people seek because they want to build with it, making it consistently relevant across collector tiers.
